Yes you need one. The SD card slot and USB ports are not active when playing a Gamecube game. If you can't find an SD Gecko/WiiKey adapter to buy (which I find unlikely), you can make your own fairly easily.

yeah ive been looking around wode is cool and all but looks a bit bulky and expensive,, that sundriver looks like a nice treat
i dont know what disc drive I have tho I think the current wii im modding is lu75 model but those sun drives can only boot from internal hdd right? not from usb hdd?

thanks ive been looking into all this, I dont like how the sd card is limited to space, I ve been looking at mod chips which is the best one and with most features? anyone? thanks

I don't see that as being an issue as GC games are pretty small. A 32GiB SDCH card would hold quite a few games and give you good preformance.

Yes. You could possibly wire it up outside the Wii, but that would be a lot of work.
